Florida State looked real good in that first half, but they were really outclassed in the second. FSU certainly still has playoff hopes but given their tendency the last few years to not bother showing up for the opening half of a couple of their games, I'd be surprised if they didn't lose another somewhere. Not sure I like their chances in Death Valley. We'll see what happens with Francois.

I'd have enjoyed that second half a lot more if Florida wasn't such a trainwreck this afternoon.

That noise you just heard was Clemson and Louisville seeing their door go from shut to wide open to take the division.

A few notes from my end...

-Anyone who thinks that the rebuild at Texas was going to be a quick job should be disappointed. 51 points scored by a middle of the pack Big 10 team... In two weeks, they have USC. The Longhorns need to figure it out fast. Speaking of the Trojans...

-Maybe it was the heat, but there's no need for USC to be struggling with Western Michigan. This is not the same Bronco team that went unbeaten and pushed Wisconsin in the Cotton Bowl last year. Unlike Texas, who gets a breather to fix the issues (San Jose State), USC gets thrown into the proverbial meat grinder with Stanford next, and remember that the Cardinal dropped 62 on hapless Rice in Australia.

-Baylor and UNLV fans have to be the most ashamed after this week. UNLV losing to Howard is something I don't anyone would of ever imagined... but Baylor's loss stings even more. Yes, Liberty is moving up next season and they do have Baylor's old AD (the same guy involved in the whole sexual assault scandal), but there's no reason why Baylor couldn't curb stomp them... If anything comes out this, is that Liberty will use this as motivation to prepare for next season AND see if they can get more Power 5 teams to come out there.
